[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jade Eyed Wolf:
To answer the question for the OP, as far as the actual hardware is concerned, everything is the same (with the exception of the 4G LTE version currently available in Korea). Usually, the differences in other regions are software based. Usually the differences include, but are not limited to, pre-loaded language packs/support, region specific pre-loaded software (like BBC iPlayer for example), etc. Language support usually isn't an issue as this is set up when you initially fire up the device the first time.

Sometimes, other tweaks include slightly different drivers for your modem/radio in order to fine tune it to best take advantage of frequencies used in a particular region.

When you go to About Phone in your settings, your Baseband version refers to your modem/radio/kernel. Build refers to the region specific pre-loaded software and OS version (or the custom ROM you may be running!).

As for the two (as far as I know) different hardware versions of the Note, one supports LTE and the other does not. The HSPA+ version (which is the one I bought off Amazon) features the 1.4 ghz Exynos chip that Samsung makes themselves, whereas the LTE version features a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip at 1.5 ghz (also still backwards compatible with HSPA+ AFAIK).

Even though the Snapdragon chip is clocked faster than the Exynos, a lot of people have argued that the latter is a much superior design. During everyday use, you're not likely to notice much of a difference between the two, but I can say for sure from experience, that the Exynos is a BEAST when it comes to HD video playback and graphics intensive games etc. (Frankly, the fact that the Exynos can outperform Tegra 2 in specifically Tegra designed games with a little tweaking speaks volumes to the prowess of the chip itself)

i live in the us and got my note fton clove in england. no problems so far with updates or any apps. the updates are relesse by regions but eventually every region gets them. when you connect with your phone it checks the samsung severs specific for your updates. no worries. i do have to say at first i couldn't get kies to connect to the phone so i downloaded kies from the uk samsung site and connected perfect. don't know if maybe it had more current drivers or what. but try that if you get stuck. the us samsung site doesn't even list the note. hopes this helps.

While I didn't scrutinize the manual in my excitement to get the Note up and running it appeared to be in French. I don't speak or read French so maybe it was a different language that merely looked like it to me but I haven't seen anything about there being a French-specific version.

P.S. Mine was purchased off eBay from a Singapore seller.

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys for what you do. My family hosted two young airmen in our home for thanksgiving who couldnt be with their families and it was a blessing for all. Talking with them reminded me how much you sacrifice and its amazing what you do. My father served and my bro in law serves. Anyway these young guys today reminded me what you do so i wanted to say thank you for everything you do and sacrifice and i pray you all are safe through these tough times.

It was our pleasure. We invited them back for Christmas. I was amazed they were so young, 19, and are being sent to kuwait first of the year. I know at 19 being sent to a **** hole across the world was the least of my worries so i have all the respect in the world for them and you. We are heading to my wifes family sat to eat and they said they would come there too so i think we made some new friends!

Anyway, you all deserve much more than you get in all areas and my family will make it a point to do more. This was our first year hosting and we will definitely keep doing it. It meant as much to us as them

So if you don't want to root Flashing a Manufactures Stock Rom should clear this

For most long time Samsung users, you probably already know about Samsungs service menu. And if you've spent enough time (too much time) on a Galaxy S II (I know at least the Sprint SGSII also has this), you likely have already seen a photo that doesn't appear anywhere else on your phone.

For those of you who haven't, here you go.

(note: this may not come up if you are running a custom rom)

1. Open your stock phone dialer and type in *#0*#

Once you type in the last # it will auto open.

2. Go to Sensor

You don't need a phone, then! You need something different! Any other phone is going to be just too simmilar to your SGS2 (which I think you should seriously reconsider fixing). Try an Open Pandora (Google it! I can't post links!), it's the closest coolest thing I can think of! :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] shr33kant:

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
+1 to this.

In fact I am eying for WP 7 or furthers as my future OS. I like Microsoft and their work. If everything goes well WP will be the mostly used and popular OS within next 3-4 years.
[Galaxy S II General] jpxdude:
For me it would be the Galaxy Note, it does everything the G-Nexus does, but better. All it needs is ICS. Personally I think the 5" screen is great, especially for films which I already use my GS2 for a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] teiglin:
I agree that Mango is the best mobile OS right now, but I'm not planning to replace my SGS2 any time soon. The fact is that the android ecosystem is just a lot stronger right now, everything from ROM development to app choices. ICS also looks like it makes some important strides from a quality-of-OS standpoint (though I have yet to put my hands on a Galaxy Nexus myself), so hopefully in a few months we'll see those benefits rolled into our GS2s.

I hope you're right and Windows Phone has greater traction in 3-4 years, and if it keeps going the way it's going, I may buy a windows handset in a couple years. Microsoft is still awful at marketing, though, and if average smartphone buyers know that there is something besides iPhone available, they probably have only heard of android, or maybe knew some guy who hated Windows Mobile five years ago. They've got a lot of hurdles to clear; we'll see how it goes.

To the OP: This has probably already been said to death, but the only GSM android phone that can be argued to be better than the SGS2 is the Galaxy Nexus right now. If you just want something different, I know a lot of people who like the RAZR, or you could always go for the monster of a phone that is the Note.
[Galaxy S II General] indie13:
Having owned a nexus (ok only for a few days) i would say that the SGS2 is the better phone. Yes the Nexus has ICS and a nice screen but you are limited with Flash (ok it will come), no radio and mainly storage. I just cant live with non expandable phones with only 16gb on board. Maybe in a few months if and when the 32gb version of the nexus comes along and they have fixed flash but not now.

As shr33kant said, the SGS2 is one update (ICS) away from being a totally better phone than the Nexus.

Maybe the Note is the way forward. I have been toying with the idea myself. The screen would be massive for Video. And by the way i didnt really see / feel a difference in screen size between the SGS2 and Nexus, not sure why i didnt but i didnt.

Hope this helps.

Seems odd to me that someone would ask for advice on an alternative to the S2 on an S2 forum.

Heck, if I'm bored with my wife I wouldn't ask her for advice on an alternative.
[Galaxy S II General] narcoustic:
I think you have too much money...u can get ur phone repaired most likely under warranty.

But if you must get something different I guess it would make more sense changing OS.. buying another android phone would be too similar imo so I would go for a windows 7 or a meego device like the n9. Just to give it a spin and see how it compares.

Saying that, I knw a number of ppl with lumia 800s who are selling them.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zubair Kirmani:
Verified on HTC HD7 3 Times (Does not Work for Half Bricked Devices)

Prerequisite: Zune No_Do Restore or any Restore below 7720 .

STEPS:

=====

1) Restore to No_Do restore point via Zune. (Won't downgrade SPL 5.X)

2) Connect phone to Zune and Updates 7.0.7392.0 and 7.0.7403 will be installed on ur phone.

3) The third update will be mango update, install it and once done SPL will be Changed to 4.X

NOTE:

After Mango update, while phone reboots, it will reboot twice, one for downgrading SPL and another to load Mango on ur phone.

DETAILED EXPLANATION (It is not Rocket Science)

====================

1) When you upgrade to MANGO (7720), SPL changes to 4.X followed by the HTC Update that changes SPL to 5.X

2) Restoring to NO DO or any other update (7392, 7403) does not change SPL 5.X, but the fact Remains that you have a Phone that can be upgraded via Zune.

3) Conscidering that we retored to No Do via Zune and SPL still being 5.X, We start upgrading and we get Update 7392 and 7403.

4) Next update is Mango (7720) [Zune does not change SPL but the Update installation does, especiallt 7720 and HTC Firmware update].

5) Since Zune is not supported to check or Downgrade the SPL, when the Mango Update happens on the phone with SPL 5.X, The update changes SPL to 4.X "Phone reboots twice after the update is applied one for changing SPl and other for loading Mango".

6) Next come HTC Firmware Update, if u apply tht too, u again endup with SPL 5.X, so u have to Stop after Mango Update and Then you can follow the below thread to flash Custom or Branded roms.
